The thangka of the Four-Armed Bodhisattva that I tried so hard to steal from the Red Palace is not an ordinary thangka. To be precise, it should be a map that has been preserved for more than 1,300 years. .
It is said that Tang Xuanzang, a monk from the Tang Dynasty, was on his way back to the Western Regions to obtain Mahayana Buddhism. He was attacked by wild beasts in the forest when he was in Nepal. When his life was hanging by a thread, he was guided by the four arms of Guanyin Bodhisattva and found a clear spring, which was the tears of Guanyin. Hence the new life.
Later, when I passed through Tibet, I found a painter who drew such a thangka of the four-armed Bodhisattva, and recorded the specific location of Guanyin's tears in it. It coincided with the initial construction of the Potala Palace, so I left it in the Red Palace. among.
I didn't expect Tashi to know so much, and I couldn't help but respect him. This made me even more curious about what kind of person Tashi was.
If it is true as Tashi said, according to the comparison on the thangka, our current position is exactly where the two fish are, and the error is only a hundred meters away, which is easy to find.
But just now I followed Xue Nanfeng around the jungle for a long time, and I didn't even see the shadow of Guanyin Tears. This is a bit unreasonable.
Looking at the four-armed Bodhisattva Thangka in my hand, I couldn't help but frown, thinking to myself, could this really be just a legend?
I was wondering about the authenticity of the legend when a gust of wind started to travel through the jungle. The wind blew the branches and made them sway constantly. The sunlight also came through the gaps in the swinging branches. .
A ray of sunlight happened to shine through on the back of the thangka in my hand, and at that moment, I saw an unexpected picture.
"Tashi, let me use your hidden knife!" I shouted excitedly.
Tashi didn't know why I wanted his knife, but he still reached out and took out the hidden Tibetan knife from his waist and handed it over.
I put the dragon-detecting claw back into my backpack, then took the Tibetan knife from Tashi's hand with my free hand, then turned the thangka around, and used the Tibetan knife in my hand to cut the back of the thangka. Go down.
"Hey... you can't...!"
Tashi immediately exclaimed and was about to come over to stop me, but Xue Nanfeng, who also came forward, grabbed his wrist. Apparently Xue Nanfeng had also seen the secret from my movements. .
I tentatively stabbed the back of the thangka twice with the Tibetan knife, and sure enough I found a raised spot. As I cut with the Tibetan knife for a while, the bump fell off, revealing the main body inside. Come to the back of the painting.
There was an abstract pattern in the gap I cut, and then I turned the thangka over again, and even raised it high, so that the sunlight could shine on it again.
As the sunlight shines through the gap, the pattern on the front of the thangka changes subtly.
The original location of the Pisces disappeared due to the penetration of sunlight, and was replaced by the pattern of a pagoda temple. This means that as long as you find the pagoda temple, you will naturally find the legendary Tears of Guanyin.
"Hahahaha... Miaowa, Miaowa, you are indeed my good brother. I really have you. Now that I think about it, it's hard not to find it!" Xue Nanfeng praised me emotionally. Seeing his excited look, I was all I wish I could hug me and kiss me hard.
Now that the clues are known, I rolled up the thangka of the Four-Armed Bodhisattva in my hand again and said: "The location is already known, so this thangka is of no use. Now my subordinates will return it to the Red Palace after I return. .”
Xue Nanfeng waved to me happily and said, "It's up to you. Let's go and find the pagoda temple!"
After putting the thangka back into my backpack, I quickly followed Xue Nanfeng and Tashi. After walking to Tashi's side, I asked Tashi, who was also looking happy: "Are you here?" I have been looking for it for several days, but have you ever seen the pagoda temple?"
"I haven't encountered it before, but it doesn't matter anymore. Xue Nanfeng has the ability to attract insects. It's easy to find the pagoda temple."
Attract bugs!
What Zhaxi said reminded me of the time when I was in Xuejia Town. Xue Nanfeng was always followed by a swarm of black Gu worms. But now I can't even see half of them around Xue Nanfeng. I didn't see it. Could it be that he also let the Gu worm get into his stomach?
I carefully looked at Xue Nanfeng's thin body. Obviously, my guess was impossible. There were so many Gu worms that even Fatty Wu's big belly might not be able to hold them.
Xue Nanfeng soon discovered that I was looking at him suspiciously. He immediately stopped and said to me with a sinister smile: "Gu insects are regional. Those born in warm climates cannot survive in cold areas." They survived, so I didn’t bring any with me to Tibet this time.”
Did not bring!
Then just now Zhaxi said that Xue Nanfeng was going to use Gu insects to find a pagoda temple. He didn't even bring a Gu insect, so he was looking for some kind of pagoda temple.
I wanted to question Xue Nanfeng, but before I could speak, I saw Xue Nanfeng looking at me with a smile, and then raised a hand to his mouth.
I thought he was going to make a gesture to boo me, so I hurriedly kept silent. But what I didn’t expect was that he was not making gestures to me. He was clearly bleeding. After putting his fingers into his mouth, he took a bite.
puff……!
As Xue Nanfeng took one sip, bright red blood flowed out and filled his mouth. He looked as if he had eaten a dead child.
It is said that ten fingers are connected to the heart, and it is so painful to hurt a finger, but I can't see any pain on Xue Nanfeng's face. On the contrary, there is a sinister smile.
Xue Nanfeng raised his hand in the air, letting the blood drip down his fingers without stopping, dripping on the ground at his feet and on the knee-high weeds.
Not long after, a rustling sound came from the weeds. Those sounds seemed to come out of the soil, because my feet felt a tremor on the ground.
I guessed that Xue Nanfeng was recruiting poisonous insects locally. Feeling the trembling of the ground, I also guessed that the number of poisonous insects was at least in the hundreds.
But when the weeds in front of me were turned over on both sides, all I saw was just one. But this one was too big. It was covered in black armor and had a body as big as a millstone. It could be compared to that one. Comparable to the giant ant in the deserted village.
The sudden appearance of the huge beetle really surprised me, but Tashi on the side looked disapproving, as if he had seen scenes like this too many times.
In fact, at that time, I mistakenly confused Xue Nanfeng's method with the Lai people's voodoo technique in Tiecoff Gorge. In fact, what Xue Nanfeng used was not a voodoo technique, but a subduing technique. Regarding this point, I once said that The blind old monk also mentioned it before he died, but I just forgot about it.
Of course, this surrendering technique is also closely connected with what happened later.
The huge beetle seemed to be connected with Xue Nanfeng's mind. Without Xue Nanfeng opening his mouth, it began to shuttle back and forth wantonly in front of him, because its body was very huge, more like a huge millstone or something. The tanks, going back and forth, uprooted all the knee-high weeds in front of them.
The big beetle went back and forth in front of our eyes a dozen times, and finally crawled straight in one direction.
"Great, the direction is confirmed, follow us quickly!"
Xue Nanfeng shouted excitedly, greeted me and Tashi, and quickly followed.
After about a hundred or ten meters, the big beetle suddenly stopped and circled around a hill that seemed to be seven or eight meters high.
That hill is very special. It is covered with weeds and vines. It is hard to tell what shape it is. From a distance, it looks like an inverted awl shape.
The hill rises from the ground and is only about ten meters in diameter, so it is not very difficult for the big beetle to circle around it. Three to five circles only takes a matter of minutes.
